Phosphatidylserine (PS), which is exposed on the surface of apoptotic cells, has been implicated in immune regulation. However, the effects of PS on the maturation and function of dendritic cells (DCs), which play a central role in both immune activation and regulation, have not been described. Large unilamellar liposomes containing PS or phosphatidylcholine were used to model the plasma membrane phospholipid composition of apoptotic and live cells, respectively. PS liposomes inhibited the up-regulation of HLA-ABC, HLA-DR, CD80, CD86, CD40, and CD83, as well as the production of IL-12p70 by human DCs in response to LPS. PS did not affect DC viability directly but predisposed DCs to apoptosis in response to LPS. DCs exposed to PS had diminished capacity to stimulate allogeneic T cell proliferation and to activate IFN-
-producing CD4+ T cells. Exogenous IL-12 restored IFN- production by CD4+ T cells. Furthermore, activated CTLs proliferated poorly to cognate Ag presented by DCs exposed to PS. Our findings suggest that PS exposure provides a sufficient signal to inhibit DC maturation and to modulate adaptive immune responses.
